Great Sand Dunes National Park
Great Sand Dunes National Park		 This was my second visit to the Great Sand Dunes in 2007 and I came at a perfect time: Snow was covering part of the dunes from a recent snowstorm and Medano Creek was running past much of the main dune area.

Great Sand Dunes National Park		 This was my first time to the park where Medano Creek was really running and filling up much of its creek bed.

In May 2006, I hiked up a few miles to reach where the creek had water (See: Medano Creek 2006), but other than that one time, Medano Creek has been completely dry.

I included four photos of Medano Creek, the sand dunes and Mt. Herard in the background. I honestly couldn't decide which ones to "go with" and so I opted to show all four. ;)

Great Sand Dunes Folks, I know I have said this many times already, but I really suggest visiting the Great Sand Dunes. If you love sand and great mountain views, this is the place to visit!
